The kernel is the most important component of an operating system: among the other things, it provides support for different types of hardware and manages resource allocations.
Linux is a monolithic kernel: although its functionalities can be included statically or built and loaded as separate modules, it always runs as a "single piece" in the same address space. In this tutorial we will see how to download, compile and install a vanilla Linux kernel.
The instructions provided should work on all Linux distributions, however this guide is focused on compiling the kernel on a Fedora system.

Introduction
With the use of modern Gnu/Linux distributions package managers, package dependencies are no more a problem per-se, but usually each distribution ships with a certain version of a program, and we want to install a new version we have to compile it, or rely on third party repositories. The same thing happens if the repositories of our favorite distribution doesn't contain a certain application we need. Also for an application distributor can be time-consuming having to provide different package formats for the same application.Flatpak is a relatively new technology which aims at solving those kind of problems. Applications installed with Flatpack come pre-packaged with all their dependencies and run in their own
sandboxed environment. In this tutorial we will see how to install and use flatpak on Fedora 28. - Details

Introduction
Two of the most popular and highest quality media programs available for Linux are not available through Fedora's default repositories. Of course, these are no other than Kodi and VLC, and they are available on Fedora through RPM Fusion.Kodi, which was previously known as XBMC, has boomed in popularity as of late with both Linux and mainstream audiences.
VLC has been a long time favorite for anyone looking for a media player capable of playing content with just about any encoding or file extension.
Getting the Repositories
As with many multimedia things in Fedora, this is an instance of "RPM Fusion to the rescue." Utilizing the reliable and trusted RPM Fusion repository grants access to both Kodi and VLC as well as valuable multimedia codecs and libraries required to play many people's favorite content.The best way to get the repositories is to use the series of commands provided by RPM Fusion.
$ su -c 'dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'

Google Chrome is one of the fastest and most well liked browsers available. Despite its closed source, it has long been a favorite of Linux users. This is especially true because it integrates features traditionally locked behind other proprietary software, like Flash, which traditionally function poorly.Distributions like Fedora which only ship free software don't include Chrome, but Google provides convenient repositories to major Linux distributions to make installing and managing Chrome on Linux easy.

Introduction
Steam is easily the most popular PC gaming client, and with hundreds of titles available for Linux, it's not wonder why Linux gamers would want to install and use it. This is easier on some distributions than others, especially considering that Valve, the company behind Steam, officially targets Ubuntu and Debian.Fedora users won't find Steam anywhere in the official Fedora repositories. This is mostly because of Fedora's strict free software policies. It is available through a reliable third-party repository, though, and it runs great when you get it set up.
Before You Install
Steam for Linux is 32bit only. That may feel like a hassle, but it really isn't. The only thing that you have to make sure of is that the 32bit version of your graphics driver is installed on your system.If you are using any of the open source drivers, chances are, 32bit support is already installed and working. If you want to reinstall to be sure run whichever of the following fits your graphics card.
Intel
$ su -c 'dnf -y install xorg-x11-drv-intel mesa-libGL.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686'

Introduction
This article at is the logical continuation of our PXE article, because after reading this you will be able to network boot AND actually install the distribution of your choice. But there are other uses of creating your own repository. For example, bandwidth. If you manage a network and all the systems (or some) are running the same distribution, it's easier for you to just rsync in conjunction with a nearby mirror and serve updates yourself. Next, maybe you have some packages created by you that your distro won't accept in the main tree, but the users find them useful. Get a domain name, set up a webserver and there you go. We will not detail the setup of a webserver here, just basic installation tasks and the basic setup of a repository for Fedora or Debian systems. Hence you are expected to have the necessary hardware (the server and the necessary network equipment, depending on the situation) and some knowledge about Linux and webservers. So, let's start.
NOTE:This article was moved from our previous domain linuxcareer.com.Creating a repository on Fedora systems
Installing the tools
Fedora has a tool called createrepo which simplifies the task at hand. So, all we need to install is that and httpd as the webserver:
# yum install createrepo httpd
Setting up the repositories
Now, after setting up your webserver, we will assume that the root directory is ar /var/www. We have to create the necessary directories in an organized matter (feel free to adjust to taste if necessary or just follow the official layout):
# cd /var/www/html # mkdir -p fedora/15/x86_64/base # mkdir fedora/15/x86_64/updates
